Can the Universal Consumptao1 D
Successfhlly Treated?

Dr.. Borgeon, leading French doctor
has 4 new treatment for consump: ion. .
He gives an enema of carbonic acie
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latte
gas carrying the former into every par
Of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed q
efects-the cause remains undlstur Ded
What this caus els has been stated Dy
perhaps the highest pulmonary authority
in the world, /. e., the Brompton Hos
pital for Consumptives, In London, Eng
This malady every year carries OF from
one-seventh to one-fifth OF the entire
population of England!
DR.. Payne, MD, M.R.C.P., London, ID
authority for this statement.
The same or . greater proportion o.
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also says that one-half the
total number of deaths from all Other
causes have seeds of this disease in the
system which only require some lrrltant
to develop!
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says that consump-
ton is caused by deficient nutrition OF
the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant in the blood that
causes the development of the seedt
which DR.. Brehmer says lie dormant in
the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and if they are in
the least deranged they cannot rid the
blood of its killing poison. The thousand
little hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys
very easily get blocked up and diseased !;
and when they do, they corrupt instead
of purifying the blood. Kidney disease
may exist, and yet no pain occur in that
organ, because it is deficient in nerves OF
sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day and
it soon testers and is destroyed. send
acid poisoned blood through the lungs
every second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 81 per cent. of the victims
Of consumption were afflicted with de-
ranged kidneys, which permitted the uric
acid poison to remain in the blood and
irritate the lungs. This uric acid is al
ways fighting every vital organ, and if
there be any inherent weakness in the
lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia,
cough and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles
being SO authoritatively shown to be
faulty even though unsuspected action of
the kidneys, explains why, in order to
master the dreaded consumption, one
must rid the blood of the uric acid irri-
tant which infames and burns up the
lung substance. For this purpose there
is nothing equal to that great specific.
Warmers safe cure. This remedy has
now the favor of medical men all over
the world purely on it's merits. We have
no doubt that If. the Kidneys are kept in
natural action, consumption and a great
many other diseases, caused by uric acid,
will not only be cured but will be pre-
vented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albu-
men appears in the water, but albumen
is found in the water Of more than half
Of those who die of consumption!
This, then, is the condition of things
that always precedes consumption:
First, weakened kidneys; second. re-
aimed uric acid, poisoning the blood
bird, the development of disease in
he lungs by the irritant acids passing
through them. Then there is q little
'ough in the morning; soon thick, yellow
natter is spit up, followed by loss of

'weats; and " hen the patient goes to his
school physician for help, he is put on
:od-liver oil which his stomach, weak.
med also by uric acid in the blood, can
lot digest. Because there is no pain
present in the kidneys, the patient does
lot think they are affected. but the kid
ICY acid is doing its work every minute,
very hour, day and night, and by-and-by
he disease of the lungs has advanced
Until pus is developed, then come hemor-
hages, and at last the CLASSY stare which |
lenotes that the end is near!

asses shows that the terrible uric acid
